Nepenthes maxima X x (Song of Melancholy x clipeata) -Seed Pod Type:seed pod Originally the horticultural cross wasEach pod usually contains 25 50 seeds. We can't guarantee germination since we have never grown this cross out but we have inspected all pods and they have obviously viable looking embryos.

The seeds need to be kept wet and humid in the 60 80 temperature
